Past Productions by mutatis mutandis

HotSpur!

by David Whiteley

Hot Spur! played at the Ottawa Fringe Festival, June 22-July 1, 2001.

"A one-man, one-act Wild West musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry IV part I." Right. We can't possibly mount this. You can't remake Henry IV part I a la Paint Your Wagon! Besides, who'd want to? We'd do better producing a sociosemiotic diatribe about Tarot and Italo Calvino. Hmmm...

Some things you might have heard if you had the guts to attend:

"Doomsday is near. Die all, die merrily! Yeehaw!"
"I can see Jesus posing for a publicity photo at the Last Supper"
"Come, let me taste my horse."
"Stuck With Shakespeare, coming soon to a Western Culture near you."
"Dumbass robot clone Sesame Street vegetables."
"Oh pity the cowboy, all covered with gore / For he ain't gonna be bustin' no broncos no more."
